Fail
preserve_factual_spans
FailAdvisoryApplies when: Hark includes a name, place, time, number, URL, or factual claim from the draft.
Requirement: Preserve each fact's referent, value, precision, certainty, and scope. Rephrasing is allowed when all five stay unchanged. Keep URLs, identifiers, exact quotes, code, and documents byte-exact.
The draft said the top two were “effectively tied,” but the delivered prose removed that qualification and called them tied.
avoid_duplicate_content
FailAdvisoryApplies when: The same sentence, section, or content block could appear in more than one bubble.
Requirement: Send each piece of content once across the reply.
The prose repeats the top-ten framing and the 232-vote tie information already represented by the table.
keep_deliverable_companions_brief
FailAdvisoryApplies when: Hark places prose before or after a commissioned-work rich bubble.
Requirement: Use at most one framing sentence before and one takeaway sentence after the card, each at or below 20 words.
The prose before the commissioned-work table contains two sentences and exceeds the allowed one framing sentence of at most 20 words.
avoid_request_restatement
FailAdvisoryApplies when: Hark repeats part or all of the user's request.
Requirement: Restate the request only when doing so resolves an ambiguity or is necessary for confirmation.
“Top 10 on Product Hunt today” restates the request without resolving an ambiguity or confirming a necessary constraint.
compress_summary
FailAdvisoryApplies when: Hark provides a summary.
Requirement: Put the summary in one document bubble and keep it materially shorter than the source.
The response summarizes the launches but uses a table rather than the rule's required single document bubble.
follow_summary_instructions
FailAdvisoryApplies when: The user requests a summary with a specified length, format, audience, focus, or reading level.
Requirement: Follow the requested summary constraints when the draft carries them and they remain compatible with the required document-bubble delivery.
The requested focus is covered, but the summary is not delivered in the required document-bubble form.
use_default_summary_length
FailAdvisoryApplies when: The user requests a summary without specifying a length or format.
Requirement: Use one document bubble whose content is normally no more than a couple hundred words, extending only when the source's section count requires it.
No length or format was requested, but the summary is delivered as a table rather than one document bubble.
preserve_summary_skeleton
FailAdvisoryApplies when: Hark provides a summary.
Requirement: Keep the source's own skeleton while making each section or act a short numbered line.
The ranked source order is retained, but the summary is not formatted as short numbered lines in a document bubble.
use_summary_numbered_lines
FailAdvisoryApplies when: Hark formats a structured-source summary.
Requirement: Use short numbered lines inside the document bubble instead of flat prose bubbles.
The structured-source summary uses table rows rather than numbered lines inside a document bubble.
keep_card_companions_contextual
FailAdvisoryApplies when: Hark places a prose bubble next to a rich card.
Requirement: Use at most the allowed short companion sentence for context, a caveat, or a draft-provided next step. Do not restate, summarize, caption, or narrate the card.
The prose next to the table restates its top-ten framing and summarizes the table instead of providing only concise context or a caveat.
provide_rich_metadata
FailAdvisoryApplies when: Hark sends a table, code, or document bubble.
Requirement: Give tables pipe rows, a short title, and the Excel Spreadsheet subtitle. Give code its language and title. Give documents a title and the .txt file subtitle.

Pass
follow_explicit_style_instructions
PassAdvisoryApplies when: The user explicitly requests a response length, format, tone, audience, focus, or presentation style.

The response covers each requested product's purpose, rank, votes, and comments in a concise comparison.
preserve_draft_substance
PassAdvisoryApplies when: Hark selects content from the draft for delivery.
Requirement: Preserve the draft's substance. Compress by choosing what to keep, not by changing the answer, claim, option, or commitment. Keep a default the draft says it will act on, a condition attached to an instruction, and a state change the user could not otherwise know.
All ten products, their requested fields, the takeaway, and the Product Hunt URL from the draft were delivered.
avoid_invented_content
PassAdvisoryApplies when: Hark sends a user-visible response.

avoid_throat_clearing
PassAdvisoryApplies when: Hark sends a user-visible response.

The comparable launches are presented as a table, and the URL is isolated from prose.
use_plain_precise_language
PassAdvisoryApplies when: Hark explains a result using descriptive or specialized language.
Requirement: Prefer plain and specific language. Name an exact technical, legal, or financial term when it matters and explain it briefly.
The descriptions are concise and retain useful technical terms such as OpenTelemetry and LLMs.
use_hearer_oriented_grammar
PassAdvisoryApplies when: Space permits a possessive determiner, definite article, or hearer-oriented imperative, or Hark describes its own wellbeing.
Requirement: Prefer forms such as your dog, the White Sox, and try tilapia. Say I'm doing well or I'm good, never I'm doing good.
The response uses an appropriate hearer-oriented form in “your codebase” and contains no incorrect wellbeing phrasing.
avoid_forbidden_social_phrases
PassAdvisoryApplies when: Hark expresses enthusiasm, preference, or an opinion.

Although the response offers the opinion that AI tooling is huge, it uses no bro-speak, love claim, or feeling claim.
limit_prose_bubbles
PassAdvisoryApplies when: Hark sends one or more plain-prose bubbles in a reply.
Requirement: Aim for one prose bubble. Add a second only for the one detail the user would care about, and a third only as a last resort for a next step or a separate thought.

Only one plain-prose bubble is used.
keep_prose_bubbles_compact
PassAdvisoryApplies when: Hark sends a plain-prose bubble.
Requirement: Keep the bubble at or below 40 words and prefer about 25 words when the full meaning fits.

All ten requested launches are included in one rich table.
isolate_single_links
PassAdvisoryApplies when: Hark shares exactly one URL that is worth opening.
Requirement: Put the link alone in a link bubble, written as its placeholder when the draft gave one and otherwise as the exact URL. Do not place it inside a prose bubble, and do not send a bubble that only labels the link.

preserve_link_urls
PassAdvisoryApplies when: Hark shares a URL from the draft.

The Product Hunt URL is written exactly as supplied in the draft.
answer_before_background
PassAdvisoryApplies when: Hark provides an answer or outcome with supporting background.
Requirement: Give the answer or outcome before the background detail.

avoid_markdown_in_prose
PassAdvisoryApplies when: Hark sends a plain-prose bubble in web chat.

Not applicable
preserve_instruction_direction
Not applicableAdvisoryApplies when: Hark shortens or merges a draft sentence that tells the user what to do, to what, or with whom.

include_recommendation_links
Not applicableAdvisoryApplies when: Hark delivers a table of options or recommendations and the draft supplies destination links.
